Match Day is coordinated by the National Resident Matching Program, which provides an impartial venue for matching residency programs with the 16,000 U.S. medical school students and 20,000 independent applicants—including graduates from international medical and U.S. osteopathic schools— who compete for available positions each year.

Currently, 169 students are set to graduate from the UAB School of Medicine in June 2013.
